Mylo "Destroy Rock n Roll" (2004)
The book heaps praise on Mylo, stating "Everbody loves Mylo" and in my
usual contrary way I went in ready to hate it. Truth be told it was
okay though. I wouldn't say I 'love' Milo, but I can certainly hear
some value in what he does.
It's all upbeat dance music with an ear for pop. A few of the earlier
tracks have a kitschy sound that almost brings to mind St Étienne.
"Guilty of Love"
and "Otto's Journey" have a bright, shiny 1980s pop vibe to them, while
"Paris Four Hundred" feels like it would fit in alongside many of the
big electro aritsts of the late-90s/early-00s.
The title track seems to just be a spoken-word roll-call of different famous artists. Kind of reminds me of a disco version of Tomahawk's "Harlem Clowns". "Rikki" has a glitchy but still electro-pop sound, like a dance version of what the Shortwave Set would attempt with their "The Debt Collection" album a few years later.
